There's a preview up of Justice League of America 31 at IGN, which is what the potential spoilers are for. I mean, if you avoid reading previews, which I'm sure someone does.
So in this scene, Black Canary calls Hal and Ollie together. They show up. She shows up. She punches Ollie.
It's more or less played for laughs, or at least no one in the scene seemed particularly bothered by the fact that Dinah just hit her husband.
They weren't sparring.
He wasn't wearing a Starro on his neck, or otherwise under mind control.
He did not appear to be threatening her in any way.
No, she hit him because she was mad at him.
Look, I recognize that superheroes probably don't mind getting hit as much as the rest of us would. And I realize that Ollie knows how to take a punch, and that Dinah could have pretty much taken his head off is she'd wanted to.
But. She hit her husband because she was angry with him.
Think about it--what if it was Ollie hitting Dinah because he was mad? Would that be cute? Funny? Understandable? Forgivable?
(For the answer to that question, ask Hank Pym...)

Just a TAD over the top. The fact that neither Hal nor Ollie is even particularly surprised by her action is even more outrageous.
